I’m writing a book. My goal is to have a rough draft completed by the end of June. This is an excerpt from Chapter Two, which discusses the transition time line and maps out options for the future. No paywall this week, but please subscribe to support my work.
Freshman year evaluations and conversations with student, teachers, and outside professionals should give parents useful data to help them make tentative plans plans. Odds are, your school isn’t telling you about all the options for autistic students; it doesn’t have staff who know much about that. So, I’ll roughly lay out all the options here. In subsequent chapters, I’ll drill down into the details of each plan.
It’s important to first see the full roadmap, so you can start making informed choices. With greater information about all the options, you and your student can make long term plans and avoid falling off that cliff.
